In fact, although Zhongxin International at this time was rated as the world's fourth largest chip foundry by technology media.

It is the fourth largest chip foundry after Wandao TSMC, Taiwan Union Power and Singapore Licensed Semiconductor.

But this refers to the scale and production capacity of their chip foundry, and at this time, Zhongxin International's chip foundry capacity cannot be filled at all, and there are a large number of production lines that are idle and have nothing to do.

Historically, they have earned $360 million in turnover this year, most of which has been made by selling 8-inch wafers.

According to the history of the previous life, it will depend on next year for their chip foundry business to achieve a huge improvement, because it will rely on the boom of the chip foundry business next year.

Their turnover in 2004 was close to $1 billion, which was an official start and truly became the world's fourth largest chip foundry.

Of course, TSMC's operating income soared from $5.85 billion in 2003 to $8 billion during the same period!

TSMC stores are still an unclimbable peak in the global chip foundry industry, and they are proud of the others.

And the most terrifying thing is that the growth rate of TSMC stores in the next few years is even more terrifying, accounting for as much as 60% of the market at the peak.

According to history, in 2004 alone, they won half of the world's chip foundry orders, which means that half of the world's chips are produced by TSMC!

Therefore, TSMC stores are quite terrifying in the chip foundry industry, and they are an incomparable super peak that global chip manufacturers can only look up to.

Although Sugon Technology has the blessing of the system BUFF that makes the chip physique super god, it is not easy to defeat TSMC stores or even compete with TSMC stores.

And the small ones came to the old ones, and what is even more terrible than TSMC stores is the Wassen sodium agreement!

After really defeating TSMC, what greeted Dawning Technology was a more severe suppression, which was more brutal than the previous Huawei Technology!

In the face of this situation, Shuguang Technology actually has no possibility of luck, and must invest a lot of money to develop its own core high-end chip production equipment.

You can't put your life on the mercy of others, and the enemy is not merciful but quite cruel, Shuguang Technology has no chance of luck!

Of course, these are all things in the future, and this is the most glorious moment since Sugon Technology engaged in the chip foundry industry.

With an estimated chip foundry order of US$1.124 billion in the next year, Sugon Technology surpassed Zhongxin International in one fell swoop and became the first in China and the fourth largest chip foundry in the world.

Although there is still a long way to go from TSMC, which has a turnover of $5.85 billion this year, let alone compete with TSMC, even the world's third Singapore licensed semiconductor can't compare.

However, after Sugon Technology obtained this foundry order of up to 1.124 billion US dollars in the next year, the world also saw the potential of Sugon Technology in the chip foundry industry.

In this case, Sugon Technology is also taking advantage of the situation to seize the opportunity.

At present, Sugon Technology is negotiating loans with the four major banks in Daxia, and is preparing to use the Sugon chip factory as a mortgage to build a new chip factory.

The planned new chip factory is divided into two 8-inch wafer fabs and one 12-inch wafer fab and supporting chip production lines.

Among them, the 8-inch wafer factory is easy to say, but it is a little difficult to purchase the production equipment of the 12-inch wafer factory.

After all, the production equipment of the 12-inch wafer factory is also quite advanced in the current era, and in order to purchase the production equipment of the 12-inch wafer factory, Zhang Rujing has used his old connections for many years and made various promises.

For example, it is absolutely not necessary to produce military-owned chips, and it is absolutely not involved with the Daxia military before purchasing advanced equipment for the 12-inch wafer factory.

At this time, it is really not easy for Sugon Technology to purchase equipment for 12-inch wafer fabs, and it also requires Sugon Technology to spend a lot of money, and the probability of failure is very high.

However, although we know that the probability of success is not large, we must also try to fight for it, and we can't retreat in the face of difficulties, and Sugon Technology will try its best to have a 12-inch wafer factory.

Of course, if it doesn't work again, then Sugon Technology will give up the 12-inch wafer fab and purchase the 8-inch wafer fab instead.

So by then, Sugon Technology will have 3 new 8-inch wafer fabs, one old wafer fab, and a total of 4 8-inch wafer fabs.

As for the process technology, Sugon Technology's new chip factory will directly abandon the 350nm process process.

At that time, the minimum process technology will be 180nm, and then the 150nm and 130nm process technologies will be adopted on a large scale.

As for the world's most advanced 90nm process technology, why not? Sugon Technology wants it, and even more than Sugon Technology wants a chip production line with 90nm process technology.

Zhongxin International also wants to purchase chip production lines with 90nm process technology, but what can you do if they don't sell it?

And to be honest, it is actually a bit difficult for Shuguang Technology to even purchase a chip production line with 130nm process technology, and it also requires a lot of effort.

And this is also the sadness of not being able to produce advanced semiconductor production equipment by itself, but these are things for the future.

At present, Sugon Technology is destined to have no strength to solve the problem of developing self-produced semiconductor production equipment.

Therefore, the current task of Sugon Technology is to develop itself well, and to invest in R&D while ensuring survival.

However, in the short term, the task of Sugon Technology is to negotiate with the bank first to see how much it can borrow, and at best, it can borrow more than 30 billion.

If according to Lin Chen's three wafer fabs, a number of huge new factories supporting 180nm, 150nm, and 130nm production lines.

If all of them need to be completed, then Sugon Technology may need more than 30 billion yuan to be secure.

However, fortunately, the construction of the new chip factory does not have to be done directly in one step, but can be built in three phases step by step.

Therefore, if you can borrow 10 billion, it will be enough for the construction of the new factory in the first phase, and the second wafer factory in the second phase and the third wafer factory in the third phase can be slowly and gradually expanded.

Of course, the best thing is to be able to do it in one step, so that you can save a lot of things, and you can also make money and make money.

At present, Sugon Technology received chip foundry orders softly, and finally had to stop receiving chip foundry orders due to the upper limit of production capacity.

If it can be done in one step, a total of 4 wafer factories and multiple production lines such as 350nm, 180nm, 150nm and 130nm will all start construction.

The money that Sugon Technology can make from the field of chip foundry alone may be several times the money that can be made in the field of mobile phones.

Only in this way can we really spend a lot of money to develop our own semiconductor production equipment, to develop advanced production equipment for semiconductor chip production such as lithography machines, etching machines, and chemical deposition equipment. (End of chapter)
